• Pay off credit card debt faster: Visualize your outstanding balances and focus on paying off high-interest cards first.
• Track credit card usage by category: Analyze spending across categories such as subscriptions, dining, travel, and more to build better habits.
• Combine with checking and savings accounts: Reflect payments in your full financial picture and see how paying off debt affects your cash accounts.

How It Works

Step 1: Set Up Your Accounts

Create entries for each of your credit cards in the Account Balance Tracker, labeling them as “Debt.”

Add starting balances—use negative numbers to represent what you owe (e.g., -$800).

Step 2: Log Purchases

Use the Spending Tracker to log purchases made with your cards. This increases the debt balance for that specific card.

Example:

• Account (Out): Amex
• Amount: $60
• Category: Subscriptions

Step 3: Log Credit Card Payments

Use the Income & Expense Tracker to log payments made toward your cards from another account.

Example:

• Account (Out): Checking Account
• Amount: $500
• Account (In): Chase Credit Card
  This reduces the card’s balance and also adjusts your checking balance.

Step 4: Track Interest or Refunds

Record monthly interest or refunds as income/expenses to reflect updated balances accurately.

Example for refund:

• Account (In): Amex
• Amount: $80
• Category: Refund – Clothing

Step 5: Monitor Credit Utilization

Add a “Credit Limit” column for each card and calculate utilization using a formula property:
(Current Balance / Credit Limit) x 100

Perfect For…

• Individuals with multiple credit cards
• People focused on debt payoff strategies
• Budgeters wanting to see how spending affects debt
• Those tracking credit utilization for score optimization
• Users who want to avoid credit card interest and build better habits
• Anyone needing a clear debt payoff timeline in Notion
